THE NEW POLISH CUISINE COOKBOOK
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Chef and author Michael J. Baruch – known as Mikey to his new friends at the Polish Culture forum – is determined to see Polish cuisine achieve the same profile that French and Italian cuisines have enjoyed for years. When major publishers thunbed their noses at Baruch's proposal to write a cookbook giving traditional Polish fare a modern, upscale spin, the sixth-generation Polish-American took matters into his own hands.
"After I got turned down by a dozen book publishers who said they weren't interested in 'Polack' cuisine," Baruch said, "I got mad and said, 'Fine, I'll self-publish.' " He hired an award-winning food photographer who produced gorgeous photos of his dishes and in 2002 he published "The New Polish Cuisine" (LBCM Publishing, 2002, $32). Recently, he sent a copy to another Polish-American, Martha Stewart. Her opinion? She was jealous!
You can purchase the book from the PolArt site:
" 'The New Polish Cuisine' is a superb collection of never-before-published original recipes that the chef has reinvented for the American palate. This book is a true visual masterpiece that accentuates the body and soul of Polish American cooking. This first volume in a series will undoubtedly touch the heartstrings of cooks for generations to come."

Mikey posted to our PolishCulture forum: "The cookbook is available through Barnes and Noble and Borders. For some strange reason it's a collectors item on Amazon, whom I have never sold to! I used to have a website, but we were so deluged with odd requests for things like headcheese recipes and false donation claims (I donate a lot of money to Polish charities around the country) that we contracted with bigger bookstores. If all fails, have your local library contact me at [e-mail] to buy a few books. AND IF YOU REALLY WANT TO BUY A REALLY, REALLY, REALLY NICE POLISH COOKBOOK FOR YOURSELF THAT I WILL PERSONALLY SIGN, WRAP, AND SEND TO YOU VIA MEDIA MAIL, SEND A CHECK TO MICHAEL BARUCH, FOR $30. MY ADDRESS IS 5036 ASHLEY FALLS CT, SAN DIEGO CALIFORNIA 92130

Yes, there were some code problems with the issue I received. I e-mailed Nancy about it immediately.

[nancy]

GM,

Thanks for sending me the email about the newsletter, and I hope you got my replies.

I did not see any "errors" on AOL, but when I looked at it after sending it to myself at Yahoo, the little dashes we frequently use did not show up correctly.

I asked my friend in Warsaw, who also uses Yahoo, if he had received the newsletter, and if there were any code problems. He said he had it, and everything appeared in the correct format.

I have no idea what all this means!! All browsers are not created equal, that much I understand, but beyond that,

[wujjohn]
